[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding machine technology, specifically a volume feeder. Background Technology

[0002] For example, a single-screw volumetric feeder, as disclosed in patent publication number CN214086748U, includes: a base, a support seat on the top outer surface of the base, a first motor on one outer surface of the support seat, and a fixing box on the other outer surface of the support seat, with a fixing mechanism inside the fixing box. Through the configured crushing and rotating mechanisms, the rotating mechanism drives the first and second rotating rods to rotate, and the crushing mechanism drives the first and second crushing blades to rotate, crushing the material and preventing material accumulation and blockage in the hopper. This ensures the normal feeding of the single-screw volumetric feeder, improving its efficiency and ease of use. The entire device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and increases its applicability.

[0003] However, during the use of the above-mentioned equipment, due to the setting of its internal crushing mechanism, the material has a certain stickiness and is easy to adhere to the inside of the equipment, making it inconvenient to clean. Therefore, in order to address this issue, we propose a more convenient and practical feeder to meet the usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the circular cavity, and a second spiral plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft and the support plate are rotatably connected.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This volumetric feeder, through the setting of the feeding mechanism and the metering mechanism, first fixes the box to the support plate by clamping clamps during use. Then, the material is poured into the box. At the same time, the servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which drives the stirring plate to stir the material.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In the material processing process, a feeder is required. The feeder provided by this utility model is specifically used for material addition operations in the material processing process. Before using this equipment for addition operations, a comprehensive inspection of the equipment should be carried out to ensure that all parts are intact, connections are tight, and the electrical system is normal, so as to avoid malfunctions during operation. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out, accumulated materials should be cleaned, wear should be checked, and damaged parts should be replaced in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1-3, this utility model provides a technical solution: a volume feeder, including a support plate 1, a clamping hoop 2 installed on one side of the top of the support plate 1, and a feeding mechanism 3 provided on one side of the clamping hoop 2 for stirring materials. The feeding mechanism 3 includes a box 301, a fixing plate 302 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the box 301, a through hole opened in the center of the top of the fixing plate 302, a rotating shaft 303 rotatably connected in the through hole, a connecting plate 305 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft 303, and scrapers 306 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 305. One end of the scraper 306 contacts the inner wall of the box 301. A quantitative mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the support plate 1 for quantitative feeding.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, multiple equidistant stirring plates 304 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 303. A first spiral plate 308 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 303. A servo motor 307 is installed at the top center of the fixed plate 302. The output end of the servo motor 307 is connected to the rotating shaft 303. A discharge pipe 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 301. A solenoid valve 310 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the discharge pipe 309.

[0022] It should be noted that during use, the box 301 is first fixed to the support plate 1 by the clamping clamp 2. Then, the material is poured into the box 301. At the same time, the servo motor 307 drives the rotating shaft 303 to rotate, which drives the stirring plate 304 to stir the material. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 305 and the scraper 306 clean the inner wall of the box 301. During this process, the solenoid valve 310 is opened, which causes the rotating shaft 303 to drive the first spiral plate 308 to rotate and send the material through the discharge pipe 309 into the metering mechanism 4. The material in the feeding mechanism 3 is fully stirred, so that materials of different batches and different states can be mixed evenly, avoiding the phenomena of material stratification and clumping.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the metering mechanism 4 includes an upper cover plate 401, a lower cover plate 402 is provided on one side of the upper cover plate 401, and a circular cavity is formed between the upper cover plate 401 and the lower cover plate 402. Through holes are opened on both sides of the top of the upper cover plate 401 and the lower cover plate 402, and fixing bolts 403 are installed in the through holes. One end of the upper cover plate 401 and the lower cover plate 402 is connected to the support plate 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 407. A through hole is opened on one side of the top of the upper cover plate 401, and a feed pipe 404 is fixedly connected in the through hole. The feed pipe 404 is connected to the discharge pipe 309. A connecting shaft 406 is rotatably connected in the circular cavity. A second spiral plate 405 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 406. The connecting shaft 406 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1.

[0024] It should be noted that during use, the material first enters the circular cavity through the feed pipe 404. Then, the motor drives the connecting shaft 406 to rotate, which in turn drives the second spiral plate 405 to rotate, so that the material is discharged through the discharge pipe 407. When it is necessary to disassemble and clean, the upper cover plate 401 and the lower cover plate 402 can be opened by opening the fixing bolts 403. The quantitative mechanism 4 can achieve precise control of the feeding amount, meet the strict requirements of different production processes on the amount of material used, and improve the quality of products and production efficiency.

[0025] During use, the box 301 is first fixed to the support plate 1 by the clamping clamp 2. Then, the material is poured into the box 301. At the same time, the servo motor 307 drives the rotating shaft 303 to rotate, which drives the stirring plate 304 to stir the material. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 305 and the scraper 306 clean the inner wall of the box 301. During this process, the solenoid valve 310 opens, which causes the rotating shaft 303 to drive the first spiral plate 308 to rotate, sending the material into the circular cavity through the discharge pipe 309. Finally, the motor drives the connecting shaft 406 to rotate, which drives the second spiral plate 405 to rotate, so that the material is discharged through the discharge pipe 407. This device can prevent material from remaining on the inner wall of the box 301, ensure the cleanliness of the box 301, and reduce material waste.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
